Background Brassica oleracea is a valuable vegetable species that has contributed to
human health and nutrition for hundreds of years and comprises multiple distinct cultivar …

Polyploidization has provided much genetic variation for plant adaptive evolution, but the
mechanisms by which the molecular evolution of polyploid genomes establishes genetic …

Background Despite the prevalence and recurrence of polyploidization in the speciation of
flowering plants, its impacts on crop intraspecific genome diversification are largely …

The cultivated Brassica species include numerous vegetable and oil crops of global
importance. Three genomes (designated A, B and C) share mesohexapolyploid ancestry …

Rapeseed (Brassica napus), the second most important oilseed crop globally, originated
from an interspecific hybridization between B. rapa and B. oleracea. After this genome …

Background Brassica oleracea is a morphologically diverse species in the family
Brassicaceae and contains a group of nutrition-rich vegetable crops, including common …

Polyploidization has played a major role in crop plant evolution, leading to advantageous
traits that have been selected by humans. Here, we describe restructuring patterns in the …

Background Brassica rapa is one of the most economically important vegetable crops
worldwide. Owing to its agronomic importance and phylogenetic position, B. rapa provides a …

Allopolyploidisation merges evolutionarily distinct parental genomes (subgenomes) into a
single nucleus. A frequent observation is that one subgenome is 'dominant'over the other …

Ethiopian mustard (Brassica carinata) in the Brassicaceae family possesses many excellent
agronomic traits. Here, the high-quality genome sequence of B. carinata is reported …
